WOOHOOMANITY 2022!!!
Do good! Have fun! By Club Members joining the Woohoomanity fundraiser, the Littleton Rotary Foundation received ~ $9,000 for local food insecurity and Ukraine relief. Organized by Rotary District 5450 and neighboring Districts in Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska, the Woohoomanity Challenge represents Rotary Club's entry in the annual Denver Century Ride, with each rider choosing a 25, 50, 85, or 100 mile course based on their ability.
Our participants trained for the Denver Century Ride, meeting on summer Saturday mornings to get in shape for the fundraising ride. (& drank coffee & swapped stories & enjoyed blue grass musicians).
Fun? YES!!!
We sent emails to friends and family, asking for their financial donations. On average, one Rotarian’s email generates $750.

Rotarians recently partnered with Friends of The Dillon Ranger District (FDRD) to restore the damaged fencing at the top of Loveland Pass. This heavily trafficked and popular tourist spot is remarkable for its scenic beauty. It's also popular as the trail head for the West Ridge Trail leading to the summit of the 12, 479’ mountain locally known as Rotary Peak. The old fencing helped to keep visitors on the established paths and off sensitive terrain, but had deteriorated to such a degree that Rotarians determined something needed to be done. It was an embarrassment to have visitors from around the world see the broken-down condition of the approach to one of our state's significant scenic wonders – the Continental Divide at 11,990'.
Joining with the FDRD, members of the Summit County and Littleton Rotary clubs worked together in restoring all the damaged buck-and-rail sections, and adding several new sections. Materials were secured and the project was directed by the FDRD Project Manager Doozie Martin. Public service trail maps and guides produced by Rotary Club donations here happily received by visitors and hikers. Those who successfully made the 1.5 mile hike to Rotary Peak were presented with a commemorative “I Climbed Rotary Peak” pin as evidence of their accomplishment.
